Analogue Camera Adapter V2.0A and CameraDemo

Technical Support
, , , ,

Hello I’m using the Analogue Camera Module V2.0A with the Colibri Evaluation Board V3.2 and this
demo and seems to work fine. But I need an example (source) to view a preview of the image of the camera, I downloaded the WindowsCe software libraries and sample for Tegra but the folder CameraDemo is empty. Besides, I have an old wince lib (v1.04.00.1819) that has the source of camera demo, but the solution project couldn´t load a project named CameraPlugin…I think that is a dll project.

So, I wonder if you could tell me where I can download the source code of a camera preview demo.

Extra info: I really need this example because we are testing solutions for adding cameras to our product and I think that this is the way to go.

Thanks in advanced!

We have improved our camerademo application with quite some good features. Currently, it is in the testing phase, it will take a couple of days to release. Let you know the update once we release the application.
Please let me know if you are looking for this immediately.

4

A couple of day it’s ok for me, please let me know when the demo is ready.

5

Do you have any news of the release for CameraDemo? thx

6

We have improved camera demo project of tegra. Please download source code from here.
This project will be able to build of using Windows CE Software Libraries

Thanks! I’ll test it and talk back to you with results.

Hi @raja.sivasankaran, unfortunately I could not build the code, I tried changing different things but it was impossible.

I also had to add libraries to the linker and several .h files (gpiolib, i2c, coproc, etc).

Do you have full version that builds for SDK2wince7 (ARMV4I)?

Please download the source code (not building) from here

9

The visual studio properties files not updated to latest. Please download it from here and overwrite on the Windows CE Software Libraries and then try to build the application.
Please use our latest SDK from here.

10

ok, seems to work for me. Is there any chance to make it work with the 1.4 release image?

Thanks a lot!

11

I’m picking up on this topic, and I still have some problems.
I’m using:

  • WEC7 image version 2.1
  • Toradex Evaluation Board 3.2A
  • ACA V2.0A
  • This software CameraDemo

With this configuration I can´t see any image from camera on any channel of the ACA. Could you confirmed me if I need to set up anything else or special?

Besides, do you have any source code demo?

12

Dear @skabo,

I made the same software and hardware setup and camera is working for me. Could you please check JP2 jumper selection, it must be open for default executable application. We are published our camera demo source code here. Default channel D1 is selected, if there are no camera source input and test pattern should be seen on the display.

Still, if it is not working then share below things

  1. Snapshot(picture) of your hardware setup.
  2. Log debug message and send to us
13

Ok, I made the test with and without the JP2 jumper and achieved the same result.

if there are no camera source input and test pattern should be seen on the display.

Never saw the test pattern, only black screen.

I attached pictures of my setup and de debug message logs.

Dear @skabo,

Thank you for the details. I guess there could be a connection problem between the camera adapter to Colibri Eval board. Could you please check the cable continuity.
I made similar setup and able to see camera preview. Attached reference pictures and logs here.

Let us know still if you need any help on this.

15

ok, I just realized that some jumpers for I2C had been removed from evalutaion board, it’s working now. Thanks a lot.

16

I’ve one more question, how can I switch the analog input of the module? I’m trying to find this looking at the code example here without success. Thanks in advanced.

Dear @skabo
I moved this question into a new post:
